I love Angle, he's a bada**, but it is a young man's sport. I don't think he could do MMA now either. If Angle would've went into MMA after his gold medal victory instead of pro-wrestling he would have been one of the greatest. Most great MMA stars, especially at that time, had a strong wrestling base: Chuck Liddell, Matt Hughes, Randy Couture, Mark Coleman, Kevin Randleman, Tito Ortiz, etc. But it is too late for Kurt in MMA amateur wrestling. And thank god he didn't go into MMA cause I can't image pro-wrestling w/o Angle.

a lot of people have criticized Kurt Angle for trying this cause they say he is too old but I say, if he thinks he can do it then go for it. He still has to earn a spot on the USA wrestling team, it's not a guarantee lock that he will be in London in 2012.

If Kurt Angle feels he has a legitimate shot at making the team and winning a gold medal then more power to him. If he loses, I know a lot of people will say I told you he was too old but if he does not even win any medals, at least he realized a dream and made it onto the biggest stage a 2nd time in a sport he truly loves. I'll be cheering for him.
